rediscovering

Superhero movies and shows are the big thing now, you can’t escape them they are everywhere and it’s not weird that given its popularity, some of it could pour over the Anime world. This season we got a show created by Stan Lee and directed by the creator of Mushishi, it is something, to say the least. But this was not the first time the cameo himself wanted to break
